Level 2/3 to practice Friday – Meet Info – Fundraising Due – Watch Wildcard Live

Posted on February 25, 2013 by wildcardgymnastics

Level 2/3s will practice on Friday again this week due to the Optionals competing in Iowa on Saturday.  Please have the Level 2/3s come from 4:30 -7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 1.  They will not practice on Saturday, March 2. 

Former Wildcard gymnast, Andrea Gross will be competing for Hamline University on Saturday, March 2 at UW-Whitewater.  We would love to have some Wildcard family there to cheer her on!  This is a great opportunity for our gymnasts to see some excellent collegiate gymnastics in a location close to home.  The meet begins at 5:00 p.m at the Williams Center.  If you are going to watch her, make signs, cheer loudly and let her know she’s missed at Wildcard Gymnastics!  

The Butter Braid Fundraiser pastry order forms are due on Friday, March 1st.  Please turn these in promptly so we can get the order placed.  The orders will be delivered on March 11.  Because the orders need to remain frozen, we need everyone to pick up there orders that day.  More details about delivery to come!  

If you didn’t already see the link on the Wildcard FaceBook page, you can now watch Wildcard compete live!* (*Provided we can keep a signal.)  This weekend we were able to stream the Boys’ competition and the Girls’ Optionals meet.  You can go back and watch how they did at UStream.com or download the app on your phone or mobile device.   Please note, the boys’ videos aren’t saved on the site yet.  Simply search for Wildcard Gymnastics and the videos are there!  This is a great way to share your child’s accomplishments with friends and family!  Watch for more awesome Wildcard events. 

Thanks again to everyone who participated in the Fox6 Wakeup spot.  We are thrilled to have the gym showcased and are proud of all our gymnasts!

No Level 2/3 Practice on Saturday 2/23

Posted on February 22, 2013 by wildcardgymnastics

The Level 2/3s will practice on Friday, Feb. 22 from 4:30 -7:30 p.m.  We apologize for the short notice but we have a staffing issue on Saturday morning and Alie needs to sub for those classes.  If you can’t make Friday night, no worries.  So again, there will be no practice this Saturday for the Level 2/3s.  They may come on Friday instead.

AAU National Championships Information

Posted on February 20, 2013 by wildcardgymnastics

AAU National Championships Information

Once again, Wildcard Gymnastics will be offering gymnasts the opportunity to compete in the AAU National Championship events this summer. Last year, Wildcard gymnasts brought home 52 gold medals from the AAU National Championship events, and this year is your gymnast’s opportunity take home one of those national titles. Both AAU Nationals and Junior Olympics are an amazing experience in that gymnasts from all over the country compete, there are opening/closing ceremonies, and it’s larger than many of the competitions in Wisconsin, with gymnasts competing for the chance to be a national champion.

The two events that are available for gymnasts to compete in are:

AAU Age Group National Championships, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Kissimmee, Fla.
Boys’ Competition: June 15
Girls’ Competition: June 14-16

AAU Junior Olympic Games, Cobo Center, Detroit, Mich.
Girls’ Competition: August 1-2

To participate in either of these two events, gymnasts must qualify by participating in the AAU District Championships, held April 19-21 in Loves Park, Ill. Girls’ gymnasts must score a 29.0 or higher to qualify for the national championship events. Boys’ gymnasts must compete at the district championships to qualify for the national championships. If your gymnast intends on competing at a national championship event, please register and pay for the District Championship meet by Feb. 28.

The cost to compete at the national championship competitions is $75 each.

The deadline to register for the AAU Age Group National Championships is May 5.
The deadline to register for the AAU Junior Olympic Games is June 28.

GYMNASTS WILL NOT BE REGISTERED IF NOT PAID IN FULL BY THE DEADLINE.

We will not be traveling as a team. Participants and their families will be responsible for their own travel. There are hotel specials and Disney World theme park ticket specials (for the AAU Age Group National Championships) available. Please ask about information for these specials. Also, given the proximity to the end of school, we will not be holding a practice session in Orlando like we have in the past.

We hope many of you can attend these unique and fun national championship events.

Fox6 Wake Up is coming to Wildcard – Wednesday, Feb. 20!!!

Posted on February 11, 2013 by wildcardgymnastics

All boys’ team and girls’ team members (Level 3 – 9) are requested to come to Wildcard on Wednesday,  February 20 for the Fox6 Wake Up live camera shots.  We know this is a school day but we’d really like to have a good turnout.  Fox 6 will arrive at Wildcard at 6:30 a.m. to set up.  We’d like the kids here at 6:30 to stretch and warm-up.  Then we’ll send them to workout  on events because they will be doing live shots at 7:15, 7:45, 8:15, and 8:45 a.m.  Fox6’s Laura Langemo will be having the gymnasts teach her skills on the various events while we have the other kids’ “showing her up” in the background.  This is a fantastic way to get promote Wildcard Gymnastics and our excellent team program.  We’d really like to have gymnasts here for it, so if you can allow your gymnast to go to school a little late that morning, it would be for a good cause!  

Participating gymnasts should wear their exhibition (short sleeve) leotards.  Boys’ team can  wear a Wildcard shirt and shorts/pants.  We appreciate your support!
